Video: Unified Soccer showcase with WSHS and Sealth players, coaches

We’ve reported here before on the Seattle Unified Soccer League, with teams including Special Olympics athletes as well as athletes without disabilities. This past Saturday at Starfire, the Unified Soccer coaches from West Seattle High School and Chief Sealth International High School led a team representing the Sounders in a match against Colorado counterparts who came to town with the Rapids (who played Sounders FC that night). WSHS coach Alex LaRosa e-mailed today to let us know about it and to share the link for the clip above, a Sounders-produced story by longtime local sports journalist Tony Ventrella, featuring the teams, the coaches (you’ll hear from Alex), and the game. She says the team that she and Sealth’s Andrew Saldana coached featured athletes from both their schools as well as Franklin HS. And they won – congratulations!

    A great story! BTW the match was at Starfire, not Centurylink.
